I often see people on social media wondering out loud: how is it possible to be creative during this period?

Part of the problem, in my opinion, is the seemingly irresolvable nature of current issues.

Broadly speaking, I believe that humans fundamentally love chaos because, 1/6
most of all, they love to create order. People of every culture yearn for paradise. One person's paradise might be another's Hell. That's beyond the scope of this post. The main point is: as chaos is the condition that creates order, both are two polarities of one reality.

When reality consists of seemingly inexorable chaos, multiple problems of great complexity within sniffing distance (literally) with no easy solutions, it creates an imbalance. Ultimately this results in spiritual distress (I mean spirit in a personal rather than wider sacred 3/6
sense). 

In my view, that's where creativity comes in. I believe that even (especially?) in a period like this, your creativity can be your path to order/paradise. Through connecting with your imagination you can create an alternative reality. This can be a refuge or exorcism4/6
of turmoil, as you wish. It can be a means to clarity of perception and give you the tools to interpret the exterior more objectively, removed from whatever "bubble" we have created, or has been created, around us. Through the odyssey of creation, journeying within, by way of 5/6
whatever happens to be your medium (movement, notes, words, etc) you can re-enchant your world, as far beyond the pitiless external "reality" as you wish. So...go and create.
I will release an example of this in action soon, feat. 25 artists from around the world.
